Full 3D View"Daytona Spyder" is an unofficial nickname for the 1968-73 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 convertible. It was a front-engined, rear-drive car with a Colombo V12 engine, and was designed by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina. It had a maximum speed of 174 mph and could accelerate 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds.Before 1971, the front headlights were fixed, behind a glass cover. Due to U.S. regulations, Ferrari introduced pop-up headlights in 1971.The wheelbase of this model is 0.5" shorter than the standard and may not be eligible for some races.What is a "pinewood derby car shell"?A pinewood derby is an event created by the Boy Scouts many years ago. Each scout is given a pinewood derby kit typically consisting of a block of wood with slots for axles, 4 wheels, and 4 nails to be used as axles. The scout (and his dad, usually) will then carve the block of wood into the shape of a car, paint it and apply stickers, install the wheels on the axles, and then race it at the "derby", which involves a sloped track with a timekeeping apparatus.An official scout derby will usually require that the parts in the kit be used for cars entered in the derby. Other organizations (including workplaces) often hold derbies, too, and some of them require the use of the parts in the box, including the block of wood.These "pinewood derby car shells" are intended to be used with an official derby wood block, cut down to size, along with the axles and wheels included in the kit. A printable model of the shaped wood block is provided. You can either use the printed model or use it to accurately cut an official wood block down to size.
